14 E.qxd 11/18/04 10:50 AM Page 14 What is an event? 14 An event is a programming period. This could be the period in the morning when you are preparing for work or school. It could be the period when no one is at home. It could be the period when the household is asleep at night. The time for an event is selected based on when you want the event to occur. For example, if you wake up at 6:30 AM, set the first event for 6:30 AM. The thermostat will automatically make sure that your home is at the desired temperature selected for that event by the time you wake. This thermostat can be set for 2, 4, or 6 events. Two events should be selected if someone is home all day thereby requiring a constant temperature during the day and a different temperature at night. Four events are the most common for working households. Event 1 (WAKE) is the morning period. Event 2 (DAY) is when everybody has left for school or work. Event 3 (EVE) is the return period, coming home from school or work. Event 4 (NIGHT) is the night period when everybody is asleep. Six events can be used especially when there is activity during the day. Event 1 (WAKE) is the morning period. Event 2 (MORN) is when everybody has left for school or work. Event 3 (NOON) is the lunch period, when the kids may be home for a break. Event 4 (DAY) is the afternoon period when the house is empty. Event 5 (EVE) is the return period, coming home from school or work. Event 6 (NIGHT) is the night period when everybody is asleep. How do I know what program is right for me? The thermostat is factory set with the US EPA ENERGYSTAR recommended times and temperatures for optimal energy savings. You can change these to suit your lifestyle. The best rule is to examine your schedule and set the times and temperatures that best fit. This thermostat is so versatile, you can easily change temperatures or programs at a whim.

If Calendar Time is chosen, the service reminders will be set in days. After the selected number of days has passed, a Service Reminder will be displayed informing you that service is suggested for your system.

23 E.qxd 11/18/04 10:50 AM Page 23 When would I need to change the INSTALLER settings? NEVER! The INSTALLER SETTINGS are selected based on the type of equipment you have in your home. This feature should be set only by a certified HVAC technician. Changing these settings could result in higher energy costs and may even damage your equipment. There is a security lock on this feature to prevent tampering. USE IT! How does Energy Efficient Recovery (EER ) work? Energy Efficient Recovery is an energy saving feature. During a set back period (or set up in cooling), it allows the thermostat to look ahead two hours to determine when to turn on the heating (cooling) system. During this period, the second stage is locked out to allow the first (and most efficient stage) to bring your home to the desired temperature. How does my remote indoor sensor work? The remote indoor sensor (part # 9020i) can be used to improve the comfort of your home. When used in conjunction with the local sensor on the thermostat, the two sensors average the sensed temperature and control to that average temperature. You also can use the remote sensor in a stand-alone situation when you want to control the temperature in a remote room but have the thermostat in a secure location. When would I need a remote indoor sensor? Large rooms are ideal for remote sensors. Installing a remote sensor across from the thermostat will provide constant comfort throughout the living space. How does my remote outdoor sensor work? The remote outdoor sensor (part # 9025i) can be used to aid in the comfort of your home or simply as a sensing device to inquire about outdoor conditions. In most applications, the thermostat will have a display of the temperature sensed by the remote outdoor sensor. With your heat pump system, the remote outdoor sensor can help determine when to turn on the second stage of heating for optimal comfort. 23

24 E.qxd 11/18/04 10:50 AM Page 24 Where should I install a remote outdoor sensor? The remote outdoor sensor should be installed on the northern wall of your home, away from direct sunlight or other heat sources that may affect its sensitivity. Who should I call for additional help? For additional troubleshooting information, visit our web site at To talk with a service representative, give us a call at What should I do if my power goes out? Make sure your family is safe and don t worry about the thermostat. Your thermostat automatically retains the time of day for approximately two hours in the event of a power outage. All other programmed parameters are stored permanently in memory. So, if your power is out for more than two hours, simply reset the clock. See page 4. How do I reset the thermostat program to factory conditions? To reset the thermostat to factory conditions, press the UP button and the LEFT button at the same time. Hold for 3 seconds. The time of day will display 12:00 indicating a reset has occurred. 24 NOTE: This will erase all programming and return the thermostat to the factory conditions including the installer settings. Use this only as a last resort. How do I know if the heating or cooling is on? The display of the thermostat will indicate the operating mode, HEAT or. When the temperature in your home decreases or increases, the HEATING or ING cycle will come on based on the displayed mode. When the HVAC system is ON, the LEDs along the bottom crease will turn on.

25 E.qxd 11/18/04 10:50 AM Page 25 My energy bills are too high. Is there anything I can do? While we can t do anything about the high cost of energy, we can try to use less energy and thereby lower our heating and cooling costs. Generally, the best way to do this is to use the EPA ENERGYSTAR recommended setpoints for heating and cooling. ENERGYSTAR Setpoints Winter Summer (Heating) (Cooling) Morning 70 F (21 C) 78 F (25 C) Day 62 F (17 C) 85 F (29 C) Evening 70 F (21 C) 78 F (25 C) Night 62 F (17 C) 82 F (28 C) Another way to contain costs is to cycle the heat pump or air conditioner with moderation. The thermostat controls the cycle rate based on temperature differentials. By maintaining a reasonable differential setpoint, 1 F for 1st stage and 2 F for 2nd stage, your furnace will cycle with moderation. Finally, using the remote outdoor sensor coupled with the balance point feature (see INSTALLER SETTINGS, page 20) will allow your furnace to cycle to the most efficient stage for your heating or cooling needs. 25

26 E.qxd 11/18/04 10:50 AM Page 26 When should I change the batteries? 26 Only the model 9700i operates with batteries. The 9701i, 9715i and 9720i operate from power provided by your HVAC system. MONDAY 11:30 AM 70.0 F HEAT SET AT 71 Generally the batteries will last months. The thermostat will tell you when to change the batteries. A battery symbol will appear just below the temperature display. The thermostat will continue to operate for a short period of time with this notification on the display. The low battery warning supercedes all other notifications including outdoor temperature and the filter monitor. HOLD TEMP WARNING: CHANGE BATTERIES NOW If the WARNING screen is displayed, the thermostat will shut down all operations, including heating and cooling. It s important to change the batteries promptly if this screen appears. BATTERIES INSTALLED INCORRECTLY How do I change the batteries? Simply slide the battery door to the right. Remove the two right most batteries first. Then remove the two left batteries. The screen to the left will appear. This screen will help you orient the new batteries. Replace with four fresh AA alkaline batteries. REPLACEMENT TIP: It s easier to replace the two left most batteries first, then the right ones.
